TheMoog 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Got listening to this radio station a couple of weeks ago after being round my brother's, if you like rock music you'll love this station. Apparently they've nearly gone under a couple of times but have managed to get bailed out, it'd be a hell of a shame if it went off air, they play everything from Led Zep, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, etc to some of the newer stuff. Anyways, here's the link: Planet Rock Radio Rock on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Most of the decent web based music stations are dying or being regulated out of effective existence now, mostly (as usual) by the recording industry. There'll be alcohol free zones in the web soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say though that the DAB radio I bought last week is really good, clear as crystal and the channels are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 It really is a top radio station, playing all the classic kind of rock you mentioned but also some metal, bit of blues, and often good full live tracks and stuff like that. The last i read about it a few old rockstars had got together with a rich businessman or something to save it, i forget who it was now but 2 or 3 well known musicians.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 DAB is a dead format imo. A lot of the niche stations have gone / are going under. It needs really big investment so all the stations are available in all areas, then they can push on with personal and in-car DAB radios. And the PR needs to be better. I got a Pure set a few years back, and other than receiving xfm it's been a disappointment, as has their customer care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 This radio I bought was £24.99 from Argos, plays real well, quality's good and I get a fair few channels as well. Thing is I totally agree that the PR's been rubbish for DAB, I hadn't even considered it, hadn't really looked in to it at all or knew much about it until I went out of my way to research it a bit. I wonder if one of the rockstars who saved Planet Rock last time was Alice Cooper, he does the breakfast show I'd recommend listening to it to anyone who likes rock music, all the class bands are on there, not much of the teeny bopper bullshit bands that last for a year or so these days.
